- Synopsis
- "The Problem Over the past 20 years we’ve gotten very good at predicting whether a major new technology will supplant an older one—but we are still terrible at predicting when that substitution will take place. The Insight If the new technology doesn’t need a new ecosystem to support it—if it is essentially plug-and-play—then adoption can be swift. But if other complements are needed, then the pace of substitution will slow until those challenges are resolved. Change takes even longer when the old technology gets a boost from improvements in its own ecosystem. The Implications Start-ups need to consider not just when their innovation will be viable, but also what external bottlenecks will arise. Incumbents, meanwhile, should use the transition period to up their own game—and to figure out a strategy for long-term survival."
